My mum does the best roasts. While I was up with mum last time for 10 days we had 4 roasts and 1 cops and steaks the other days.
I have had slow cooker for ages but have only just started using it.
Any recipes ideas?

Oooh...I've got all kinds of recipe's for the slow cooker...and so does Pat...but here's a good one for some chili from a friend of mine...only thing is, you'll have to do the conversions to metric...so sorry...

2 med tomatoes diced
1 C tomato sauce
1 C chicken broth
1 ½ Tbsp apple cider
vinegar
1 ½ C cooked kidney beans,
rinsed & drained

break up lumps. Cook about 5 minutes.
Add chili, paprika, red

Gidg, you might be surprised at the chili...you can't tell the difference...and it's not got all the high fat content that you get from using ground beef...I've even started using ground turkey in in other things that usually call for ground beef...gotta keep that girlish figure, y'know? *wiggles*

Ground beef? Nope, chili meat, much better texture. And no matter how much you talk no one will ever convince me that poultry chili is good. I've been having a running argument for the last two ... almost three years with a chef about this subject. He's given up.
Yes, still waiting for a PROVEN apricot chicken recipe.

You really are Rouge? Now that IS bad news.
Bek, Chili meat is normally made out of the toughest part of the steere and cut into small cubes. Smaller than stew but larger than hamburger. You can use the toughest of the meets because of the long cooking time and everything is fine. I never use hamburger because it breaks down too fine and I want the small chunks of meat. Any true butcher can gut you up some chili meat, mine does it for me all the time.
